You know those are the exceptions, not the rules. Capitalism means that you play the dirty tricks everyone else does or get left behind. Legislation is the way out of this, not the delusion that we can convince people to just “choose better”. I tried to convince people for the better half of a decade. People simply do not have the knowledge to understand why they should care.

I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 1 month ago:
Because they suck.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 month ago:
That’s unfortunate (for Linus), but Louis Rossman’s stories about dealing with Linus directly pretty clearly shows him to be an unpleasant person that thinks of relationships as transactional

Veritasium is not super high on my trustworthiness list after the self-driving car ad incident
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 month ago:
Eh. I lost any interest I had with Linus after the whole Gamers’ Nexus thing, and I’m definitely staying away after hearing what Louis Rossman had to say about the guy.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
Barycenters are not necessarily outside the objects, either.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
You’re being pedantic to levels most redditors could only dream of. Barycenter aren’t even necessarily outside the 2 objects, if you took the OP to mean that, it’s incorrect information anyways.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
I mean, sure, but you can reasonably glean that I’m just talking about the fact that any 2 objects with mass exert gravity on each other. This post is facebook-tier
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
This is true about any 2 objects with mass.

“I like getting fucked over” is a weird thing yo brag about but aight
- Comment on I got that dept in me 5 months ago:
I’m Gen Z, I did a layaway on the 2 bikes (my ebikes and my Kona Dew+) I’ve bought because I knew I would have enough money to fully pay for them soon, but I didn’t want to risk those particular models selling out.
- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 5 months ago:
People with money will always find a way to run away from consequences.

Reflexive contrarianism isn’t a good look.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
Then they shouldn’t be called lifetime subscriptions.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
I actually prefer the Jellyfin client to the Kodi client by a lot. Using Kodi on top just adds more unneeded complexity and reloading libraries in my experience.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
It works pretty well for me but I separate anime and TV/movies, and make sure the anime library is only scraping data from anime-centric databases.

Godwin’s law was a lot more relevant when we didn’t have Hitler 2 in the middle east and a political party approximately half a step from openly being the neo-Nazi party.

Do you have any idea how deranged this sounds to the rest of the world
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 year ago:
Reddit, like all major social media, have really been making me feel like dead internet “theory” is real.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 1 year ago:
I don’t know why people are missing this. If your fucking workplace gets flooded you won’t have a job anyways. If it’s so bad you’re moving parking spots your workplace is toast anyways. Get your ass moving!

You’d be without many meals if you died in a flood.
